America is dealing with issues of war, a depressed economy, a broken medical care system but, thankfully, we have evidence of the President’s birth certificate.

President Barack Obama released his birth certificate to help answer any doubts about the authenticity of his Hawaii birth certificate.

If you’ll recall, Luke Scott told a Yahoo! Sports blogger this past December that “Obama does not represent America” and said he believed Obama was not born in America.

“That’s my belief. I was born here. If someone accuses me of not being born here, I can go — within 10 minutes — to my filing cabinet and I can pick up my real birth certificate and I can go, “See? Look! Here it is. Here it is,” Scott told Yahoo. “The man has dodged everything. He dodges questions, he doesn’t answer anything. And why? Because he’s hiding something.”

Tommy Tuberville gave his two cents about Obama and his birth certificate during a guest appearance on Sean Hannity’s “Great American Panel” on Fox news Tuesday according to the Huffington Post.

“Well, we’ve got enough controversy going on in this country,” Tommy Tuberville said. “I don’t know why he wouldn’t just step up and say, you know, ‘Here it is.’ Obviously there’s gotta be something on there that he doesn’t want anybody to see. I don’t understand it. You know, as a common American, I just don’t understand why we just go through this and I think it’s continued to divide the country.”

Tuberville also said “there’s got to be something on there that he doesn’t want anybody to see.”

Thanksfully, we live in a land of free speech and I support Luke Scott and Tommy Tuberville’s right to voice their opinion. Now, we can move from unfounded opinion to fact and hopefully put this ridiculous story to rest so real problems can be solved.
